The “immediate, classic, and prophetic” story presents questions about the expectations placed upon future generations, about consent vs. control, and about the philosophical debate regarding predestination.
At the end of the world, two genetically engineered children (Berkes and Parolin) are entrusted with the survival of the human race. Held in a restricted campus, they grapple with their extreme responsibility while testing the boundaries of what they are and are not permitted to do as saviors of the world. The New Play Exchange reviewed THE CARE AND FEEDING OF SMALL ANIMALS as, “a tender, funny, endearing, horrifying, and thoroughly theatrical look at the systems that bind us, the terrible prospect of freedom, and the danger of malicious education. Smith's script conjures an entire vivid and grim world with nothing but two actors and its incredible, incredible language.”
*Subscribers and Individual Ticket Buyers will receive a private viewing link for at-home streaming on February 12th that can be viewed at any time through February 28th.
